|  Did I get a bargain? After owning my used Fabia vRS for nearly a month, and being a member of briskoda for the same time. After using the briskoda website I am thinking I got a real bargain, as I was going to buy a new one.Bearing in mind that I was going to buy a bog Polo GT for 15.5k As it turned out I bought an Oct 2004 vRS, with, full Milltek cat back exhaust , Green filter, Cupra air intake, Xenons, cruise, Pass. airbag de-act & re-map ( to ATW 160 bhp) for £10500 (12000miles, full ,as it goes, main dealer warranty) Did I get a good deal or am I deluding myself, bearing in mind that I am 45, stupid , married to a lunatic , and going through my mid-life crisis ( the W.O. says I am) and should calm down ,stop drinking ,and learn to decorate properly and buy a Vauxhall (quick, hide, she's coming back)

| Re: Did I get a bargain? My big brother had a suede head and a crombie, now he drives a Laguna, or it drives him, and I got his white Levi jacket, and his penchant for doc's. (Ahh , the good old days !)

160bhp after a remap, is that right? or would 160 ATWs = 190 at the fly wheel? | |

When I was a Mod levis were £5 and brogues were £11.50. Doc Martens boots were a tenner. MInd you, looks like Mod type music and clothes are making a comeback judging by Brit Awards tonight. Sorry- off topic but brought back memories of scooter days. derek
